Well for the first two I used Saunders, Kaplan and a variety of pharmacology books! For the first one, I read the entire Saunders book and made noteson every chapter. When I had done that, I started revising and answered at least 500 questions ever...

Hi everyone. I am hoping to move to Irvine next year and work in Tustin hospital after I have passed NCLEX. I know they have really small population but is there anyone out there who would like to share some experiences or advice about living in Irv...

Hey thanks. Was just going to chat to someone who knows them well. Do you work in Tustin? I have looked around the hospital and it does look really nice - a lot calmer than English wards!! And Irvine looks lovely too! Just got to pass that exam!...

Hi. I am moving to California next year and I was just wondering if anyone can enlighten me on the uniform that nurses wear please? I know they wear scrubs but thats it. What kind of shoes? Colour scrubs? Are the scrubs warm? In England, I wear...

Hi everyone. Unfortunately I just found out that I failed the NCLEX-RN with 75 questions!! I didnt even get any medical questions - they were all about delegating and prioritisng! What a bummer!! Feel rotten right now!! I am already a Staff Nurse...

Hi. I took my NCLEX yesterday. Does anyone know how I might be able to get results quicker than a month?? I think I will go crazy if I have to wait that long!! Are there any websites I can check or anything? How long does California usually take...

Thanks Netty - yes it is so annoying as I am already a qualified Staff Nurse here in England!!! Not giving up tho!!!

Has anyone heard yet? I am still waiting and I have no finger nails left!!!!

I took my NCLEX last week and the only people that knew were my parents - my Dad actually drove to London to sit it, my sister, grandma and a friend I have who has already passed so she had really been helping me thru everthing! I will tell people w...

Hi there - no you are certainly not alone. I also took NCLEX-RN last Tuesday (26th) and havent had any results yet. I have been warned that my name may not appear on the website and it may take longer to get my results as I sat in England. That doesn...

Does anyone know if there is a live chat room on here anywhere? Just a thought - would be nice to chat with some nurses while I am online.

Thanks - had a look but no one was in there! At least I know there is the option now.

Well, Nat I decided to be a nurse when I was 12 years old and when I finished school at 16 (England!), I decided to do two years working as Nursing Assistant to see whether I liked nursing or not. I loved it from the first day so as soon as I was 18...
